According to the cover note of the seventh volume, Asaura's light novel "Ben・To" was announced to be getting a TV anime adaptation.

Ben To novel official website

Synopsis:
Sato Yo is a high school boy, who likes SEGA's games. One day, he enters a grocery store to buy some food for dinner. When he tries to take a bento box, he loses consciousness. He comes around to find all the bento sold out. He notices there is a war game going on at grocery stores and players called "Wolves" compete for the half-priced bento. Yarizui Sen, the leader of Half-Pricer Club, forces Yo to join the club and he enters the bento war.

Sounds interesting. Never heard about this title as LN, but I'm sure I'll be watching anime, especially when it's a comedy.

Waiting for more news, I'm curious about director and rest of staff.

Lunch box wars? What next, Japan, what next?

Anyway, I guess this will be like BakaTest, but with bentos rather than idiots taking tests.

Also, did anyone else think it said "Ben Ten" just for a brief second?

XDDD I laughed at the synopsis xDD

I wonder what kind of war is this:
1. might be girls war over the guy to eat her bento,thus, a harem?
2. eating contest? xDD
3. cooking contest? xDD
4. acquiring the best bento on that grocery store? xDD
5. bloodshed just for a bento? xDD

Eitherway, the synopsis itself wants me to check it out. Hopefully, it won't be a fail xDD

If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

We've had Iron Man and Wolverine, so I wouldn't be surprised if they added in Ben Ten just for kicks. XD

I don't know why, but that desciption is reminding me of the beginning of Angel Beats with Yui trying to recuit Otonashi.

You better not be implying that something is wrong with Ben Ten.


there are many things wrong with ben 10. my nieces made me watch it just the other day and i wanted to gouge my eyes out and bath in blood rather than finish the episode.

No way to guarantee whether it'll be any good (just like anything else), but the sheer absurdity of the concept warrants a look when it comes out. :/

I heard about this light novel before. I'm surely going to watch this if I heard correctly that despite it's uh, story, this is actually pretty good.
